ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Simultaneous substitution

Okay, so imagine you are watching a really important football game on TV. But, at the same time, there is a boring cooking show that someone else wants to watch.

Now, instead of just switching the channel and letting the person watch the cooking show, the TV company has a way of "substituting" the boring show with the important football game.

This means that both people can watch what they want at the same time, without having to fight over the remote control.

This is called simultaneous substitution. It's like a special power that TV companies have to change what you see on your TV without you even realizing it.

They do this by showing a different commercial or TV show in place of the one you were going to watch. It's like a magic trick!

So, in summary, simultaneous substitution is when TV companies can switch one TV show or commercial with another, at the same time, without you noticing. This means everyone can watch what they want without any arguments.
